Inside the top drawer of the team's large tool box; those three multi-tools are the property of Jeremy Powers — he has a reputation for losing the mechanics' Allen wrenches, so they've got three that are all his own

Sixty-four wheels can be hard to keep track of; Dallas uses this white board to know where they are, with what tires, and how long since they've been glued/serviced

Each wheel is numbered, as is each hook — everything has its place and it's apparent what's missing

When we visited, Dallas was already changing many of the team's file-tread tires out for mud tires

A box of used Dugasts; even Dallas 'cries a little bit' when the team flat one of these handmade tires. The team buy all of their tires from 'Uncle Stu' [Stu Thorne, who owns Dugast USA and runs Powers' former team Cannondale-cyclocrossworld.com], according to Dallas

The bags are custom made to hold two bikes; their custom features can be credited to what Powers has learned as an 'airport ninja'

Cyclo-cross may be booming in the US but even the biggest domestic teams are still a far cry from the professional outfits found in Belgium. A case in point are Rapha-Focus who, while far from unassuming, run their service course out of their field manager Brian Dallas's two-car garage.

Dallas graciously gave us a tour of the garage and the team's Mercedes Sprinter van, which between them hold all of the squad's race equipment, from their 10 Focus Mares Race Series bikes to their 64 Easton EC90SL Dugast-wrapped tubular wheels, along with plenty of spare parts, tools and equipment to keep everything running smooth and fast.

The garage is heated, for working in the winter, and built out with two workstations and dedicated storage for the team's wheels and bikes. On race weekends, the squad load their seven pop-up tents and eight race bikes into the van. This is equipped with a full workstation, a wheel wall to hold 32 wheels, a pressure washer and 50 gallons of water, so as to be self sufficient at the race venue.

As you read this, the team should have just returned from Europe where they raced the first two rounds of the UCI Cyclo-cross World Cup in the Czech Republic. It was the first international test for the young US-based outfit. Each rider took two bikes, with wheels. Jeremy Powers and team mechanic Tom Hopper took six sets of wheels; three with Dugast Typhoon tires and three with Rhino mud tires.

When we visited, dallas was already changing many of the team's file tread tires out for mud tires:

Each wheel is numbered, as is each hook—everything has its place and it's apparent what's missing

"There's a team that's sponsored by Focus in Germany called MIG, or Made in Germany, and they're helping us out with infrastructure: trainers, tents and moving stuff around while we're over there for the first two races," said Dallas. "The idea is to get some World Cups behind us, see if we can grab some [UCI] points, and season out some of the riders."

Though the first overseas test for the young team, it'll surely be considered a success after Powers took 10th at the opening World Cup round in Plzen. "Our program is really young, we're only two years into it," said Dallas. "This is a big trip, it's a big deal."
